I believe this is supposed to be a Maggie duffle bag.
I bought this on Poshmark and realized after I received it the o in the number abbreviation seemed to be too large and the S in the serial number looked strange. Also the brass looked faded on the zipper and the inscription on the hardware says solid brass instead of coach. Please help! Thanks in advance. Sincerely Yours, Abby

Dimensions are 8H x 10W x 6D

Where is the required photo of the creed stamp and serial number?

We don't need photos of any zipper markings since NOTHING on a zipper, YKK or otherwise, can ever prove a Coach is genuine.

What CAN prove that a Coach is fake, however, is a "solid brass" stamp on the underside of the buckle. And BTW, older Coaches made in the mid-1990s or earlier should NOT have the coach name stamped on the buckles or strap hardware. Except for hangtag-shaped zipper pulls on one specific line, Coaches older than the mid-1980s shouldn't have the name stamped on ANY hardware. I'm not sure where you're finding your information about what to look for on older Coaches, but your source seems to be wrong on a number of very important details.

Please supply a clear readable photo of the creed stamp and serial number. Thank you.

I am so sorry I thought I had included it.

This is supposed to be a Lindsay Soho flap bag. I purchased on EBay. Dimensions are 8H x 9W x 2.5D. Thank you for your help.

Definitely fake. Good luck getting your money back from Poshmark. Their authenticators know nothing.
You should post a link to the poshmark listing and the name of the poshmark seller.

VERY fake, the serial number stamping is a complete mess and that stamp would never have been made or used in any Coach plant. The number that's trying to look like a 5 in the plant code position in the serial number, besides being badly misshapen, is invalid, and the year code is a year too early for the bag to be a Maggie Duffle. There is at least one other problem I can see but those are the most obvious ones.

Their "don't care" attitude towards fakes being sold on their site is a major reason why we don't recommend Poshmark. Get your money back.

And again, please be sure to include ALL the information listed in Post One of this thread when requesting an authentication, including a link to the listing.

 

[ConchRepublicBagRehab]

There's only one photo that includes the creed patch and it's too small. Please try to get a larger readable photo from the seller. Also, please tell us what you think is wrong with it.

The stitching and the color of the coated signature canvas, also the zipper pull is different. I may be wrong.

AUTHENTICATE This COACH

Please post authenticity questions related to COACH in this thread.

Note: The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.


Please follow the following rules:

• Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this thread to make sure that the item has not previously been authenticated. This is not a thread to ask general questions about COACH, please refer to our main Coach forum for such information.

  • Please be sure to include a clear readable photo of the creed stamp and serial number from inside the bag or accessory if there is one, and the bag's measurements when the bag is an older or vintage leather Coach.
    
  • Since mid-2014, Coach stopped putting serial numbers on creeds so in newer bags where the creeds don't have serial numbers, we also need to see pictures of the labels/tags from inside the bag. They are either both in the main open part sewn into the seam of the lining, or one might be buried deep inside the zipper pocket. One shows where made and the other has a serial number.

This bag was purchased on Poshmark from seller jones1134. The dimensions are 7.5H x 7.5W x 2D. It appears to be a factory bag since there is a bullseye stamped on it. I was concerned that the made was not stamped clearly and the leather seemed to be thinner than I expected. Thank you for your time!
